  1. Hey people,

    I could really use some help and advice on how to remove the door guard adhesive from my starlet.

    I have taken a hairdryer to the door guards and they came off fine but I just cant seem to shift the damn adhesive now.

    I have tried re-heating the adhesive which makes no real difference and used white spirit but neither of these are working!!! :blink:

    Please help me on this one!

    Thanks

    Kyle

  2. Really nice car dude, clean and smart, i like the sunstrip, is it a custom design??

    For the bumb strips it leaves a nice line that flows with the front and rear bumper, if you take it off carefully it should be sound, i used a hairdryer to melt the adhesive.

    As for meshing the grill you can cut out the middle bar and mesh that part like on my car and shauns and there is no gap between the bonnet.

    Good luck man.

    Nice one mate. I might take the strips off this weekend then and im gonn have to get some mesh for the grill.

    What did you use to keep the mesh in place?

  3. Awesome boot build si, it looks the shit. Great idea mate.

    ever since jae you know y views on it Si  :D

    kool ride kibo5 nice and clean mate, there is something great about a white or black sr, they rule.

    since you asked,

    id take a hacksaw to the bottom of the two spars in the top grill,

    id also take off the black side rubbing strips with a hairdryer and update the lights all round,.

    then maybe a bib to finish it off?

    what are yourr current plans for it matey?

    Ihave just ordered an apexi induction kit would isn't gonna get to me until end of Jan but I can wait for that.

    I was thinking about meshing the top grill because that looks cool. What do I need to do to mesh the top grill?

    And does it leave any gaps between the front bumber and the bonnet?

    I am definately interested in doing that though.

    I would also like to save up and tint the widows because they look awesome with black tint.

    Better alloys are gonna have to wait for a few months os i cant afford to do that right now but i will do somewhen. The standard alloys handle really well to be honest.

    If i remove the side rubbing strips will it leave the panels flush or does it leave any indents?

    Other than that its good for now. I'm really impressed with the motor, its much more than i expected. Love car any most things about it.

  4. Here are some pics of my SR. It has ot had many changes but does look a lot better than when I first brought it as it had the crappy Sr transfers all over it.

    In a way they gave it a rally car effect but they had to go!!!

    See what you think and feel free to leave good and bad feedback.
